The Toronto Blue Jays were one win away from being World Series champions. Now, the team must focus on building its roster to once again contend next season.
The Blue Jays' rotation has some members on the open market. Chris Bassitt and Max Scherzer could both sign elsewhere, and José Berríos has proven to be unreliable as of late. Toronto could be in search of starters, and there are plenty of great ones available this winter.
Ranger Suárez was an All-Star in 2024 and was even better last season. He posted a 3.20 ERA in 26 starts and looked solid in his lone postseason start. Bleacher Report's Tim Kelly predicted the Blue Jays would ink Suárez to a four-year, $110 million deal this offseason.

"It seems unlikely the Phillies will meet the asking price to retain Suárez given how many good starting pitchers they have, but plenty of other contenders will," wrote Kelly. "The Blue Jays could slot him into their rotation with Trey Yesavage, Kevin Gausman and Shane Bieber and feel really good about their rotation heading into 2025."
Yesavage looked like a star in the making last season and Bieber showed he can still pitch like an ace. However, adding Suárez near the top of the rotation could give the Blue Jays four very reliable starters as they look to repeat as American League champions.
Since 2022, when Suárez became a full-time starter, he has a 3.59 ERA. He set a career high in strikeouts last season with 151, and could be one of the more coveted pitchers this winter.
